  Once they are checked, of course. If you want to keep a backup, you can move the zip file in your documents folder.

  In fact, you can delete everything in the temporary folder that is not currently in use. Best time to do this removal is immediately after the start, before launching other applications.

• Documents folder deleted in error and start menu link does not work again

  In the folder tree pane (Vista Home Premium) it appeared that I had inadvertently copied double my completed application documents in the foledr of downloads, as it seemed that I had two copies of everything: waste of disk space. So I deleted the subfolder Documents of the record of downloads... and the main Documents folder are missing too! It's all the same thing. I don't understand why. But anyway. It wasn't in the Trash because there had been too much to go over there, so it is all definitely eliminated and lost: more than 8 GB :-(

  Therefore, the Documents link in the start bar stopped working. Even after that I created a new Documents folder in the same location as the original, the link on the start menu does not; When I click on properties for the link, the path is empty, and I can't find a way to save a path to it. Any ideas?

  The Document folder is a special folder that will be created in a special way.  Here is the procedure to correct a record that has not been created properly: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/90705-personal-user-shell-folders.html.

  Here is another article on how to restore a missing (like Documents) under Vista personal user folder: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/148461-personal-user-folder-restore-missing-folder.html.

  Between these articles, I think you should be able to solve your problem in one way or another.

  =================================================================================================================

  In case you're still interested in trying to retrieve the dossier of Documents initially lost, here are some options you can try:

  If you have Vista Business, Vista Ultimate or Vista Enterprise, you can be lucky.  They have so-called saves shadow copies, which are deleted or modified files that can be recovered in case changes/deletions made by mistake.  http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/Windows-Vista/features/shadow-copy.aspx more information about how to use this feature to: http://blogs.techrepublic.com.com/howdoi/?p=145.

  If you have Vista Basic or Premium of Vista, shadow copies is not available; However, there is an alternative that is free and the shadow copies feature called Shadow Explorer. http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/recover-files-with-shadow-copies-on-any-version-of-windows-vista/.  Although it will not help you this time, it could very well save you in case this happens again.

  In case this does not work (not all files are available through shadow - it occurs periodically), here are some additional free recovery programs that might help:

  http://www.SnapFiles.com/freeware/system/fwdatarecovery.html (first try Recuva)

  http://www.SnapFiles.com/get/DiskDigger.html (try this second - if this fails too, then the chances of recovery are very slim, but we invite you to try other programs if you want)

  http://www.SnapFiles.com/get/easusdfr.html

  http://www.SnapFiles.com/get/restoration.html

  http://www.SnapFiles.com/downloads/Recuva/dlrecuva.html

  http://www.SoftPerfect.com/products/FileRecovery/

  http://techpaul.WordPress.com/2008/06/23/how-to-recover-your-lost-files/

  The files are not really deleted until they are crushed (although they are no longer available through conventional methods).  If you decide to try these recovery programs, you should stop using your drive hard immediately in order not to replace the data that you are trying to recover.  He slave on another PC and launch the recovery of this PC.  Even now you have definitely lost some of them if you use the same PC.  If you can not do this (slave on another PC), you run the risk of overwriting the data with every action you do on the PC (but you may still be able to recover some or most or even all files - it's a matter of luck).

  Only you can decide if the data is important enough to take the PC to an expert data recovery to recover files (they will have better programs and hardware to do that none of us do, and I've provided above).  Do NOT go to the Geek Squad or one of these centers of store-, they generally don't know what they are doing - it take for expert data recovery.  It will cost you a little and they generally offer no guarantees.  The decision is yours.

  Good luck and I hope this helps!

• After upgrading from Vista created a new documents folder and now ignores the original

  Last week I updated my computer (which I believe has an update of the graphics card and some windows stuff) using Windows update and left while he was closing. I guess what he finished close, but as I was leaving for the weekend, I can't be 100% sure and this weekend my house loses power at least once.

  As for the problem, at windows startup today made first time setup that works normally when you connect to a user account for the first time. Applications of Sidebar by default loading, the default value of the user interface (that I don't use, so it was the first sign), and I found that on the opera opening, all my favorites and settings were gone.

  At the opening of my documents, I found that they were completely empty of content, including all hidden folders where all of my settings the user should be.

  Navigation around the computer, I find that this will C:\Users\USERNAME\ my documents are still intact, but are ignored, with all the shortcuts leading to my documents redirect me to the 'new' documents folder, which means that for all purposes useful all my user settings for all programs that store data in the documents have been reset.

  Maybe someone has an idea of what may have caused this?  Personally, it's one of the strangest bug I've ever seen in any version of windows, and I'm not sure how I should go to deal with it.

  Update:

  To check the path of the 'new' documents folder, it appears as C:\Users\TEMP

  This means at least all of my original documents folder has not been deleted, but I'm trying to support everything up to an external drive where vista decided to replace my old documents folder entirely.

  Hello

• I can't delete a folder. In addition, in some cases, I can't delete some files.

  Using Windows Explorer (Windows XP) I can't delete a folder. (The data are not a program).

  File attributes are set to "hidden files" and the folder is empty (0-byte and no files are in the folder).

  In addition, the folder properties (and file) / attributes are 'read only '. When I uncheck "read only" and click OK, then look again at this, the box comes back to "read only with a check mark. (???)

  When I try to delete the folder, the message says "no empty folder", and it won't delete.

  Also, when I try to delete some files (in other cases) some people will not remove.

  Help, please.

  The 'read only' box on issues is not what he says. ignore it.

  A folder will not delete if it contains a locked file.  You will need to unlock and remove the file first.

  "Some files" will not delete because they are locked - that is to say, they are in use by an application.  There is a utility called "unlocker" used to be recommended to correct this situation, but the download now includes adware that may be reported by your antivirus/antimalware dangerous application.

  An 'empty' file that will not delete can be fixed if you run chkdisk.  Click Start > run and type the following command, and then click OK

  chkdisk/f

  A window will open to inform you that chkdisk /f cannot be run while Windows is active and proposed to schedule a chkdisk for the next reboot.  Answer Yes and restart.  When chkdisk is complete, delete the folder.

  The files that appear to be in use can be deleted by one or more of the following techniques:

  A. deleting a command prompt window.  You need to know the name of full of the file path.  For example, if you try to delete a file named test.txt that is located in a folder named Non empty folder on your desktop and your user name is NR16020, the full path name is C:\Documents and Settings\NR16020\Desktop\Non empty Folder\\test.txt

  • Open a command prompt window (start > run > cmd > OK)
  • Use the del for the files command and the command rd for folders.  If the full path name includes spaces, include it with double spaces.  Using the example:
    del "C:\Documents and Settings\NR16020\Desktop\Non Folder\\test.txt empty"
    'C:\Documents and Settings\NR16020\Desktop\Non Folder Empty' RD

  B. remove in safe mode.  To access Safe Mode, restart the computer and repeatedly press F8 immediately after that the power on sequence is complete.  If you see the Windows logo, you waited too long and need to try again.

  C. remove from a command prompt with closed Windows Explorer.  If the procedure fails because the file is locked, follow these steps:

  • Close all running applications
  • Open the Task Manager
  • Open a command prompt window
  • In the Task Manager process tab, right-click on explorer.exe, and then select end process
  • Open the command prompt window and follow the steps listed in point A above
  • In the Task Manager, click file > new task (run...), type explorer.exe, and then click OK

• "My Documents" folder redirected

  I redirected "My Documents" folder to my disk 'E', but the 'C' drive continues to show less and less available space that things are saved in My Documents. Why?

  Yes and no, they aren't. I am confused - I keep getting pop up Windows I'm running out of disk space on C, but that should not be.

  What is your C drive?  Total and currently free?

  Search for malware:

  Download, install, execute, update and perform analyses complete system with the two following applications:

  • MalwareBytes (FREE)
  • SuperAntiSpyware (FREE)

  Remove anything they find. Reboot when necessary. (You can uninstall one or both when finished.)

  Search online with eSet Online Scanner. Delete everything is found.

  The less you have to run all the time, most things you want to run will perform:

  Use Autoruns to understand this all starts when your computer's / when you log in. Look for whatever it is you do not know usingGoogle (or ask here.) You can hopefully figure out if there are things from when your computer does (or connect) you don't not need and then configure them (through their own built-in mechanisms is the preferred method) so they do not - start using your resources without reason.

  You can download and use Process Explorer to see exactly what is taking your time processor/CPU and memory. This can help you to identify applications that you might want to consider alternatives for and get rid of all together.

  You can disable hibernation if it is enabled and you do not...

  When you Hibernate your computer, Windows saves the contents of the system memory in the hiberfil.sys file. As a result, the size of the hiberfil.sys file will always be equal to the amount of physical memory in your system. If you don't use the Hibernate feature and want to reclaim the space used by Windows for the hiberfil.sys file, perform the following steps:

  -Start the Control Panel Power Options applet (go to start, settings, Control Panel, and then click Power Options).
  -Select the Hibernate tab, uncheck "Activate the hibernation", and then click OK. Although you might think otherwise, selecting never under "Hibernate" option on the power management tab does not delete the hiberfil.sys file.
  -Windows remove the "Hibernate" option on the power management tab and delete the hiberfil.sys file.

  You can control the amount of space your system restore can use...

  1. Click Start, right click my computer and then click Properties.
  2. click on the System Restore tab.
  3. highlight one of your readers (or C: If you only) and click on the button "settings".
  4 change the percentage of disk space you want to allow... I suggest moving the slider until you have about 1 GB (1024 MB or close to that...)
  5. click on OK. Then click OK again.

  You can control the amount of space used may or may not temporary Internet files...

  Empty the temporary Internet files and reduce the size, that it stores a size between 64 MB and 128 MB...

  -Open a copy of Microsoft Internet Explorer.
  -Select TOOLS - Internet Options.
  -On the general tab in the section 'Temporary Internet files', follow these steps:
  -Click on 'Delete the Cookies' (click OK)
  -Click on "Settings" and change the "amount of disk space to use: ' something between 64 MB and 128 MB. (There may be many more now.)
  -Click OK.
  -Click on 'Delete files', then select "Delete all offline content" (the box), and then click OK. (If you had a LOT, it can take 2 to 10 minutes or more).
  -Once it's done, click OK, close Internet Explorer, open Internet Explorer.

• Kill the "My Documents" folder in Windows Explorer for XP

  Whenever I have called Windows Explorer in my copy of XP and then click on 'Files', the 'My Documents' folder is displayed.
  Except that I do not use it and don't want it.
  I tried in vain to get rid of him, but when I right click on it and press DELETE, it tells me that the content will not be deleted, only the icon, which would be nice.  But it's that - the icon remains.

  You can't delete My Documents. This is a directory on the system. If you want Explorer to open up My Documents, you can change the shortcut to Explorer as follows:

  Go to programs > Accessories - right click on the Windows Explorer icon, select properties and type or copy / paste the following text in the target box:

  % systemroot%\EXPLORER. EXE/e, c:

  This will open the Explorer to C:\. You can also create a desktop for Windows Explorer with the same command icon. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

  MY question is: where are the fragmented files that use CHKDSK to find and write on the C drive?
